The Peggy Bock Memorial Race for Hope has been held each
year since 2004 in remembrance of Peggy Bock, a victim of
colorectal cancer.  The Mission of The Peggy Bock Memorial
Race for Hope is:

        To inform the public that colorectal cancer is the number
two cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and if caught
early has a 90% survival rate

        To promote opportunities for colorectal cancer screening

        To raise funds to support colorectal cancer research

        To promote a healthy lifestyle by providing an
opportunity to run or walk for a worthwhile cause
